a rich spoiled young man who eats at a
0:02
luxury restaurant every day follows the
0:05
little girl who begs for his leftovers
0:07
to take home and share
0:09
for sam farmer life was easy he woke up
0:12
every morning picked up his phone and
0:15
checked his social media accounts
0:17
then he got up had a shower and went out
0:22
sam rarely woke up before 11 o'clock
0:25
he told people his circadian cycles were
0:27
altered but the truth is that sam was
0:29
plain lazy he could afford to be his
0:32
father was one of the richest men in the
0:35
it seemed unlikely that sam would ever
0:37
change and become a responsible mature
0:40
but that was before he met men avail
0:43
sam's dad was a self-made man and his
0:45
son's dedication to doing absolutely
0:49
unfortunately mr farmer was responsible
0:52
for the person sam had become and he
0:55
sam's mom had died when he was very
0:58
and mr farmer had tried to compensate
1:00
him for his loss by spoiling him
1:02
as a result sam was fickle lazy and
1:07
he ran up enormous bills buying clothes
1:10
and shoes he often wore only once and
1:12
even though the mansion he shared with
1:14
his father had a live and gourmet chef
1:19
he always had lunch at the same place
1:22
the restaurant was wildly expensive but
1:25
it was where all the celebrities hung
1:26
out so that was where sammy
1:29
sam walked into umbertos and headed for
1:31
his usual table out on the terrace
1:35
cena romberto himself took his order
1:38
sam just waved and said i don't know
1:41
bring me the whole menu
1:43
when the food arrived sam nibbled a bit
1:45
of this a bit of that but the wonderful
1:48
food he ordered was mostly untouched he
1:50
was about to call the waiter to clear
1:52
away the leftovers when someone stopped
1:55
excuse me a child's voice said are you
2:00
sam turned and saw a girl about 8 years
2:02
old with big brown eyes watching him
2:07
the girl waved a hand at the laden table
2:10
oh no sam said i've had quite enough
2:14
can i have some the girl asked
2:17
you can have whatever you want sam said
2:19
but it's probably cold now i don't know
2:22
about you but i hate cold food
2:25
the child looked at sam as if she
2:26
couldn't believe what he was saying it's
2:28
good food she pointed out aren't you
2:33
sam somehow felt embarrassed are you
2:35
hungry i'm very hungry the girl said
2:38
with a tone of desperate sincerity in
2:41
take what you want sam said and the
2:44
child stepped forward and quickly
2:46
started scooping the food into plastic
2:49
when she finished she threw sam a
2:51
grateful smile and scampered off
2:54
the small incident bothered sam
2:56
he kept thinking about the girl her big
2:58
eyes her thin face and her question
3:03
sam knew that he had never been hungry
3:05
not once he's been peckish and had an
3:07
appetite but true hunger was a stranger
3:11
he realized that the little girl was
3:13
very familiar with hunger
3:16
the next day he was just finishing his
3:18
lunch when the child appeared
3:19
soundlessly by his table
3:21
hello she said hi sam replied how are
3:25
on very well thank you the girl said
3:27
politely are you going to finish that
3:30
she pointed at a great mound of lasagna
3:32
glistening with melted cheese and basil
3:35
no he answered you can have it if you
3:38
the child rewarded him with a huge grin
3:41
and quickly shovel the lasagna into a
3:44
sam waited until she turned her back and
3:48
the girl jumped the railing around the
3:50
terrace and escaped into the surrounding
3:53
sam hung back so she wouldn't see him
3:55
but made sure he didn't lose sight of
3:57
the thin figure flitting through the
4:00
sam followed the child until she came to
4:04
a rusty old trailer was up on bricks
4:06
which was where the little girl was
4:09
he watched as she opened the door and
4:11
walked in still clutching the bag with
4:14
a few minutes later he knocked on the
4:16
trailer's door there was a long silence
4:19
and then the door opened
4:20
the girl looked up at sam with
4:22
frightened eyes what do you want she
4:26
i won't hurt you sam said gently i was
4:29
worried about you are you alone
4:32
no the girls said my brother is here
4:35
another big-eyed child peered around the
4:38
the second kid lived around five years
4:43

4:49

4:53

4:59
nina shrugged and said johnny and me got
5:01

5:05
they only wanted the money so i took
5:08

5:10
hitting us and screaming
5:14

5:16

5:19
nina looked bitter beyond her years they
5:21

5:32

5:35
idea exploded in sam's brain pack up
5:38

mr farmer was shocked to see his son
5:43
arrive with two scrawny dirty children
5:45
in tao but once sam explained he leaped
5:50
i know the director of child services he
5:52
said i'll give him a call
5:54
mr farmer adopted nina and johnny and
5:57
sam's life was turned upside down
5:59
he no longer woke up at eleven o'clock
6:02
he got up at six o'clock to be there
